While the sales in value terms are up 16 per cent to Rs 5.68 lakh crore, it said. Average housing prices grew 21 per cent this year across the seven major cities on rising rates of land, labour and some building raw materials.

Anarock attributed the fall in sales volumes during 2024 to a drop in new launches of housing projects because of a delay in regulatory approvals amid general and assembly elections.
